Once the domain of bioinformatics experts, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data analysis is now more accessible than ever. Illumina offers push-button RNA-Seq software tools packaged in an intuitive user interface designed for biologists.
These user-friendly tools support a broad range of next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies, from gene expression analysis to total RNA expression profiling and more.
RNA-Seq data can be instantly and securely transferred, stored, and analyzed in BaseSpace Sequence Hub, the Illumina genomics computing platform. BaseSpace Sequence Hub includes an expert-preferred suite of RNA-Seq software tools that were developed or optimized by Illumina. Our BaseSpace RNA-Seq Apps are:
Demystifying RNA sequencing data analysis with answers to common questions and concerns.
Based on frequently cited RNA-Seq analysis pipelines, these apps support a broad range of transcriptome data analysis needs. Featured apps for common RNA-Seq methods are shown in the table below.
BRC-Seq uses BaseSpace Sequence Hub to analyze and share data (primarily mRNA-Seq data), and track samples.
